for love

written and performed by Jatinder Singh Durhailay - inspired by a long conversation with Jazz vocal master - Jon Hendricks

is this love

This song is titled the last ballad of Mardana - and is about leaving a beautiful life, to death we must all part, even those who have lived a beautiful blissfull life. I had tried to imagine How Mardana must of felt knowing he is going to depart this life, and here he plays his last ballad to Guru Nanak, knowing he departs with this last song, forever.

The Last Ballad Of Mardana

Dhanna's temple

We are the seeds, our love the water, God is the sun, the world the Earth, Simran the wind, Truth the moon. Together we shall grow as one tree, and blossom forward. We shall adapt, as the world sways, together we grow, for there is nothing to worry as our fruit shall forever be sweet.

Ode to a Master

Enlightenment rendition of Raag Rageshree
There is an old famous tale where Satguru Nanak Dev ji Met a cannibal on his travels in India. Mardana, Satguru Nanak Dev ji's friend, got kidnapped whilst looking for food in the foothills of Assam, by Koda Rakshas the cannibal. Koda usually kidnapped his victims, taking them to his abode where he woulld have a big coldron and would basically FRY his victims. Mardana was helplessly tied down and was about to be butchered by Koda, at that moment Satguru Nanak Dev Ji appeared. Just by Looking at him Koda felt this presence he had never felt before. He reached enlightenment and realised God is within everyone and everything. This precise moment he felt complete and utter oneness.
Demons and Gods, its all one people. Just be happy and give everyone love man! Lets Forget hatred and Jealousy, the change of the world starts within.
For this track i tried to imagine what Koda Rakshas would of felt on seeing the beautiful face of Nanak. Just emancipated in pure love.
Dhan Sri Guru Aad Granth Sahib ji

Tulsi - Jatinder Singh Durhailay and David Edren

After their 2012 inaugural performance at Tate Modern The Tanks, the duo Jatinder Singh Durhailay and Suren Seneviratne return to their fruitful collaboration with a new experimental and minimalistic sonic musical endeavour titled Petit Oiseau. The project brings together rare classical Indian string instruments played by Durhailay known as the Dilruba and the Taus, unusually combined with Seneviratne’s interests in alternate tunings and numerology through custom patches built on a E-MU Command Station digital synthesizer.

Petit Oiseau, French for ‘small bird’, encompasses both the airiness of the avant-garde compositions, while also standing as a poetic ode to migration and South Asian diaspora.

Jatinder Singh Durhailay, is a painter and musician born and based in London. Recent performances include The National Gallery (London), Het Bos (Antwerp), Vacant and Atelier Fluss (Tokyo).

Suren Seneviratne, a.k.a My Panda Shall Fly, is a musician born in Sri Lanka and currently based in London. Recent performances include Barbican and Boiler Room (London).

Live Recording (taus solo) Jatinder Singh Durhailay

The tears drop and merge with the ocean, in this way i merge with my beloved. For tonight my heart sings and leaves behind no more, a trace of me. My selfish ways have abandoned me, for all that i can cry out is you. Kabir, Namdev, Guru Nanak, i have woven the name of my beloved into my heart.



for you

lyrics, vocal, taus, dilruba, guitar - jatinder singh durhailay

based on raag kanara

dear god i wander, can you save me,
dear god i pray, can you hear me,
dear god i wander, can you save me,

oh they say it, im just a bad woman,

when its my time to go, will i cry in sorrow?



The master of the sword

recorded live - guitar vocals, jatinder singh durhailay
dilruba - beant singh

song inspired by devotional story of bhai gurdas

King HariChand had a queen with beautiful eyes, Tara, who had made his home the abode of comforts. 
At night she would go to the place where in the form of Holy Congregation, would recite the Holy hymns. 
After she had left, the King awoke in the middle of the night and realised she had gone.
He could not find the Queen anywhere and his heart filled with astonishment 
The following night he followed the young queen. 
The queen reached the Holy Congregation and the King lifted one of her sandals from there (so that he could prove the infidelity of the queen). 
When about to go, the queen concentrated upon the Holy Congregation and the one sandal became a pair. 
The King upheld this feat and realized that there her matching sandal was a miracle. 
I am sacrifice unto the Holy Congregation.(6)
